Jacob 5:4–5

And it came to pass that the master of the vineyard went forth, and he saw that his olive–tree began to decay; and he said:

“I will prune it, and dig about it, and nourish it, that perhaps it may shoot forth young and tender branches, and it perish not.”

And it came to pass that he pruned it, and digged about it, and nourished it according to his word.
